Provide First Aid

Participants need to be physically capable of performing practical demonstrations, including 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on the floor.

Prior to attending the face-to-face session, students must complete online pre-course work.

For online study, students must have access to a computer, smartphone, tablet, or other electronic devices with internet access to complete the pre-course studies.

Once you’ve completed all the assessments, you’ll receive a digital Statement of Attainment for HLTAID011 Provide First Aid, which also includes HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
Your certificate will be emailed to you within 24 hours of finishing the course.

Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisites for this course. You’ll just need a basic level of reading, writing and numeracy to take part.

If you have any medical conditions or special requirements that might affect your ability to complete practical tasks, please let us know before your session. This includes being able to perform CPR on a manikin placed on the floor.
As part of your assessment, you’ll need to perform two minutes of uninterrupted single-rescuer CPR on an adult manikin.

To keep your first aid certificate current, simply attend a CPR update course every 12 months, and the full first aid course every 3 years.

You’ll complete both practical and theory assessments to demonstrate your competence and confidence in providing first aid.

Performance tasks and practical scenarios:

• Perform CPR on an adult, including use of an AED and placing a casualty in the recovery position
• Perform CPR on an infant
• Respond to at least one simulated first aid scenario tailored to a workplace or community setting
• Apply safe manual handling techniques
• Provide a clear verbal or written incident report

Theory assessment:

A short online multiple-choice assessment that covers the essential knowledge of first aid principles, regulations and procedures.

Our X-press format keeps it short and practical. You’ll complete a learner-paced online pre-learning module before attending a 3 hour face-to-face session. The focus is on you becoming confident with latest skills and techniques with hands-on practice and real-world scenarios, not long lectures.

First Aid certificates are valid for three years, while CPR (HLTAID009) should be refreshed every 12 months to stay current with the latest Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.

Yes, there’s a short online pre-course module that covers theory and key knowledge areas. It’s self-paced and can be completed anytime before your practical session.

Our courses are delivered by qualified, experienced trainers who bring real-world first aid and emergency experience into every session. We keep things engaging, supportive and hands-on.

You’ll receive your digital Statement of Attainment within 24 hours of completing all assessments, which is usually at the completion of the practical session unless you still have remaining online assessment tasks. Perfect if you need it fast for work or compliance.

Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to kneel on the floor for CPR practice and a snack in case you get hungry. Everything else is provided.

For onsite groups, we can come to you 24/7 — yes, at any time and day that suits your teams schedule best, and for no extra cost!

For up-to-date info on our public course schedule check the course information and booking pages on our website. 

To be marked competent, you’ll need to perform at least two minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an adult manikin placed on the floor. This means kneeling and performing chest compressions and breaths from the correct position.

These are national assessment requirements, so every participant must complete them to achieve their CPR certification.

If you have an injury, mobility limitation or medical condition that affects your ability to kneel or get to the floor safely, please call us before booking. We can make reasonable adjustments to help you get down and back up safely, but we can’t alter the assessment itself.

If you’re currently injured or unable to perform CPR on the floor without pain or risk, we’ll recommend waiting until you’ve recovered before completing your training. We’re always happy to chat about your situation and help you plan ahead.

If you want training that’s fast, practical and actually enjoyable, you’ll love our X-press format. We know your time is valuable, so every course is designed to be time-smart and hands-on, focusing on the real skills that matter most in an emergency — not hours of forgettable theory.

You’ll complete a short, flexible online pre-learning module, then take part in a focused, engaging practical session led by an experienced, dynamic and friendly TEAM trainer who brings real-world know-how and plenty of energy.

Our public course sessions are held in remium venues, with heaps of space and we don’t over crowd sessions to make sure things stay friendly and individualised.

Certificates are issued within 24 hours, and our process is completely paper-free — so getting qualified or re-certified is as easy and pain-free as possible.

Most training organisations deliver the same nationally recognised first aid units — but what makes us different is how we deliver them.

Our sessions are built for busy people and teams who still want genuine, hands-on learning. We keep classes active, relevant and practical, not long and lecture-heavy. You’ll walk away confident, not confused.

Behind the scenes, we’ve made everything simple — easy online enrolment, lerner-paced assessments, fast certificate turnaround, local Brisbane trainers, and a focus on customer service where larger providers sometimes fall short.

That’s why hundreds of schools, childcare centres and businesses trust Team First Aid every year to keep their staff compliant, confident and emergency-ready.
